This is the response to my latest email - think he sent this to a number of folks - make of it what you will
Thank you for your recent enquiries and for keeping me informed of the general mood out there.
We had expected that we would have been able to produce, in the first quarter, some news that would justify issuing separate RNSs. However, while we have worked diligently, circumstances outside our control have delayed our expected progress, more specific details will be expanded upon in our quarterly report, expected to be out towards the end of April.
SML has excellent assets and the Board and management are fully committed to executing our plans even though market changes and government processes may contribute to delaying timetables we had planned. The Board and management have adjusted operations to ensure continuation of operations ahead of securing forward movement on either Leigh Creek and/or Redmoor.
The Board continue regular engagements with SML’s largest shareholders and value their continued support for our strategy.
Rest assured that, given the Board and management maintain significant shareholdings, there is strong alignment in ensuring what is best for SML is also best for its shareholders.
Regards
John Peters
Managing Director
Strategic Minerals plc
